It's like they gave a novice programmer free rein - and they didn't make the mark. No mention at all of finding raccoons throughout. I usually play a game at least all the way through the trial, but I found the graphics so annoying - I left after only a few screens.
This is the BEST by far of this series of games. Superb visual quality, GREAT music (that's half of it for me). Excellent progression. I will play this over and over again as I'm sure the objects to find will change.
I recommend this game!

VERY similar to the "Journey" games, but with new objects and scenes. Has the added fun of finding coins and morphing objects - HOWEVER - even though I found the "morphing" objects by clicking on every single possibility, none of them "morphed" even once.

Finally, a SIMPLE solitaire game where I don't have to remember a dozen things/keys/bombs etc. A simple solitaire game that progresses well with enough change up in the layout configuration to keep you engaged. Nice music too!
I recommend this game!

I usually LOVE these games and buy within minutes of playing the demo. But ... this time, I can't get over the elevator muzak that plays during the HOS. I know, I can turn off the music, but what game developers need to realize is that for a LOT of us, listening to calming music is a big part of playing. There are gold coins to find in this version which doesn't seem to be part of the instructions - so that's fun.
I don't recommend this game.

This may be an older game, but it is extremely well done. A LOT of different things to do, the game progression is easy to follow, and the HOS are challenging, but doable. The CE version has keys to unlock even more items to help solve tasks. I apparently purchased this game many years ago and just redownloaded it - I'm glad I did - I was VERY ready for a DIFFERENT hidden object game instead of the same old same old.

Simplistic game - easy to play and progress. Mostly Match 3 and MOST of the board pieces are easy to figure out - which you have to do since there are no instructions. There are a few that I still haven't figured out even after going through 100 levels, (the steel piece that counts down for example) but they somehow get played without any purpose from me. The music is nice and the type I like to listen to. I liked - at first - that there were minigames, but those minigames are too simple, repetitive, and infrequent enough that I'm not sure why the developer even bothered. I usually play these type of games over and over again, but one time through is all I'll be bothered with.

Now THIS is what a collector edition should be like. I can't even do the math on how many scenes there are to solve, but what makes it even better is the quality of the scenes, the progression through the levels, and the variations of the puzzles.
Sure - they use some of the scenes multiple times, but there's enough difference to make it just fine with me.

Very new concept - but SO enjoyable. You have to figure out little cognitive puzzles in order to progress through the game. Some are SO simple as to elude you, but keep at it. Pay attention to COLOR clues.

I buy them regardless of whether they're repetitive as far as challenge goes. I just like them that much. I do have to say whoever is doing the music portion though is getting lazy. It could be less repetitive!
